Customer reviews

Amazon calculates a product’s star ratings using a machine learned model instead of a raw data average. The machine learned model takes into account factors including: the age of a review, helpfulness votes by customers and whether the reviews are from verified purchases.

My only criticism is that it often cràshes if you are watching videos for a long time, and by crashing I mean it sort of hangs and doesn't become responsive to the remote control. It develops a mind of its own and before you know it you're unwillingly listening to Barry Manilow's greatest hits.

You need a lot of patience to watch YouTube on this. Videos freeze, recurrent 2cm black bar at the bottom of the screen and the top 2cm of the screen missing issue that happens seemingly at random, pressing a button on the remote to scroll through suggestions while a video is playing causes audio and video lag and freezing for at least 10 seconds.

Being in my late 70's I probably don't get the most out of all these gadgets but after using the Firefox route to get You Tube on my TV, I found that the silk browser was much less likely to freeze up half way through a feature. As I watch You Tube videos more than TV programs I am very happy with the Silk Browser. Now if it let me see live football, that would be really great!

Downloaded only to watch YouTube as original app is no longer supported but Silk browser is completely useless as videos don't play smoothly and seems to buffer all the time despite having fast internet. App caused several crashes to fire stick. I experienced similar issues with Firefox. Iff app will work as good as original Youtube app I'll change my review but for now its totally useless hence 1 star only.

This app is brilliant! It allows you to search for anything you like online and also has access to YouTube . It is completely free and you don't have to sign in or anything once it has been downloaded. So no need to worry about that! This app involves no payments or details and is really brilliant.

Having read a number of customer reviews I had mixed feelings about this lawn mower but decided to take the plunge and pleased I did.It arrived within 3 days of order and was assembled quite easily although some of the pictures in the instruction manual could have been a little clearer.It started after 3 pulls and after the battery was charged up first time electronically. It is lighter to use than I had anticipated from the reviews and easy to manipulate.All in all a good purchase and highly recommended

On fire TV it sucks you cannot download anything, YouTube is dreadful on it with it buffering I use an alternative YouTube app instead. Firefox does a better job on video sites like YouTube downloader is better at everything else, also it doesn't use voice search either.

Amazon brought this app out when google decided to spit out there dummy and pull their YouTube app for amazon fire tv. The app is great I can now watch YouTube again with no problems what so ever thanks amazon and..... google .....get a life!

Every since fire tv came out the lack of a web browser was a very big down point so very much welcome this new app, but one thing that it really needs is ability to return to home screen from settings menu which is accessed by pressing the menu button (Button with the 3 horizontal lines)

This immediately goes to a mobile version of the website that I am trying to access via my firestick. When I try to log in to the site in order to watch content, I cannot scroll down through the menu to the log in button. Unless I can figure out how to scroll through the menu or change to the desktop version then this app will be deleted. At least this one allows me to get to the website unlike firefox!!!

This is the Amazon-made browser for Fire TV. I've used this for some Youtube and to BING search around a few local websites. The controls are intuitive, there are a good number of options, and so far it seems to work.

As I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard I'm not sure I'll use it a huge amount, but it's nice to have and it's free.

Very happy with this download. Accessing video, particularly 'Youtube' with the Amazon fire stick using the Firefox browser, was always a bit hit and miss. This browser has worked perfectly and smoothly since used instead. Would recommend.
